I'm not 100% sure but the "whos online" page seems to load up fine, at a time when I can't bring up "new posts" page for ages. As someone said before, it seems to start hanging when a new post it made, so maybe there is some odd SQL write issue, something just like the host itself has a bad sector on the hard drive causing the SQL to hang for ages until it finally makes the write to disk?

I've not been able to access for form at all the past 2 days a couple hours ago it wasn't working, but now it is. I just got nothing but "connecting" Seems others have been posting so not sure why its not been working for me, unless there has been some DNS issues somewhere ? Saying that I tried for form IP address and that didn't work either

I have used "Green Value Host" they seem pretty good server wise, but I opted for RamNode, their servers are awesome, but twice the price of GVH. Ramnode support seems really good in the couple of questions I tested them out with. GVH replied but they want to charge for any "real" support.

Yup same for me here too. Thing is when I look at top, there is next to nothing being used, however the entire physical RAM has been committed (somewhere) and mysql is running from swap. The numbers in top just don't add up.When it goes bad, I see a huge amount of swap data appearing in /tmp.

I think somebody further up the thread suggested the VPS may be oversubscribed. I can only assume this is the case and I've raised a support ticket with them.

I just thought, I was talking to someone the other day and he was saying those programs which display server stats have a bug, and it reports usage from the entire VPS (not just the bit you are using) so its possible that huge memory usage isn't even caused by anything you are running...

I would call that a feature rather than a bug. It certainly explains a lot as I can't make any correlation between the RAM usage and traffic to the sites on the box.
